Mike Shepherd (2011) Skiddaw in Winter Cumbria, England |
It was an extremely cold winter's evening and freezing fog hung in the air. I climbed to the top of a small rise and realised that the mist was little more than a few feet deep, and though it was only a short climb, I found myself completely above it and looking at a wonderfully clear view of Skiddaw with the sum setting in the west. I used classical techniques, translated from my college days spent in the darkroom into Photoshop, to achieve the black-and-white image（图像）. |

Timothy Smith (2014) Macclesfield Forest Cheshire, England |
I was back in my home town of Macclesfield to take some winter images. Walking up a path through the forest towards Shutlingsloe, a local high point, I came across a small clearing and immediately noticed the dead yellow grasses set against the fresh snow. The small pine added to the interest and I placed it centrally to take the view from the foreground right through into the forest. |
There was a pilot (飞行员) and four people in a small plane. Suddenly there was something wrong with the engine (发动机) while it was flying in the air. The smoke was everywhere in the plane. The pilot told the passengers there was only four parachutes( 降落伞). They all became worried and started to make excuses.
"I must go and mend the engine,"said the pilot, taking one of the parachutes. There was nothing he could do, so he jumped out of the plane.
The first person stood up,"I am a doctor,"he said. "I help people live longer and I save lives. "He also took a parachute and jumped out.
The second person said,"I must have a parachute. I am a very clever person. I have to go to a very important match. I know I will win the game because I was the cleverest person there. "He picked up a pack and jumped out.
Two men was left -- an old businessman and a young mountain climber. By this time the plane was going down fast. The businessman said,"Young man, I am old but you are still young. You take the last parachute. " The young mountain climber smiled, "Don't worry,"he said. "We can both jump to safety because there were two parachutes. Just now, the clever man jumped out with my backpack. "
